6 . #3
Lotus herself had been planning to kidnap Felicia and replace her with Elvira, but wasn’t prepared to set that phase of her plan in motion just yet, but when she heard of Marianne’s plot, decided to move up her time table.
Of course, despite Mindy being Lotus’ inside person on the plot, Mindy was a loose end, and had to be dealt with.
After all, if Mindy was going to blab to Lotus about Marianne’s kidnapping plot, there was no guarantee that she wouldn’t run her mouth to someone else about Lotus’ plan to replace Felicia with Elvira.
For too long, Marston’s Pointe had been Ace’s kingdom, with any new players in town being swiftly dealt with, but that wasn’t the case anymore.
First Ace had lost their chief henchman, Jack, then followed by the Queen, Ace’s loyal and sadistic right hand.
Worse off, the conditions of The Queen’s loss had become legend, she had been betrayed by her loyal concubine, Vera, who was looking to build her own empire.
To anyone with any knowledge of Ace’s organization, it was obvious that The Queen was really the one who ran everything, while Ace was just a figurehead.
Others believed that Ace never really existed, and The Queen was the real head of the empire.
Either way, with the loss of The Queen, the organization began to crumble, one bad decision after another.
To further add to Ace’s humiliation, the women who had been a thorn in the side of their organization for so long had escaped.
Usually, if someone was a prisoner of Ace, they stayed that was for the rest of their life.
Not only had one woman escaped, but several had, and were still walking free.
Even Vera, the woman who had kidnapped The Queen, had not faced consequences.
To an outside observer, it became quite clear that Ace was getting weak.
Ace was a God, but Felicia and her fellow policewomen had accidentally shown that God could bleed. Not only that, but during her days as “Felicia Fetish,” Felicia had become Ace’s top earner. Losing her meant that Ace lost a massive income stream.
But the hits kept coming for the enigmatic crime-lord.
There was a botched heist a year after Felicia’s escape, which was made worse when the money from the heist was stolen out from under Ace by Anya the Bikini Thief, a well known international criminal.
To make matters worse, Ace failed to get their hands on Anya in the ensuing months, and an attempt to place a bounty on the bikini thief’s head resulted in Anya forging an alliance with The Marston’s Pointe Sheriff’s Department.
That alliance led to an arrest of a high ranking member of Ace’s organization, who promptly cut a deal, which lead to more arrests and seizures of many of Ace’s businesses.
Recently, there had been rumors that Ace had finally enacted revenge on Anya, breaking the Bikini Thief out of jail in order to punish her for embarassing the mysterious crime lord so publicly.
But Lotus saw the rumors for what they were: a sad attempt from a ruling king to show they still were to be feared.
The message didn’t work, and not many mourned the loss of Anya.
After all, if it wasn’t Ace, then one of her many other enemies would have caught up with her eventually.
The house of cards was falling.
And Lotus was in a prime position to take control. She stopped at the cell and peered in at Felicia, who glared at her under the mask.
“Hrrrmm ggmmph! Mmmph!” She stood and charged the door.
“I apologize for the mask, once we have you better secured, it can come off when you are not around customers.” Lotus smiled.
“Hmmph?” Felicia’s eyes furrowed in confusion.
“You see, I did promise your sister that I wouldn’t harm you, and well, that’s partially the truth, as I will not lay a hand on you…”
Lotus turned to see Melanie and Delilah had finished storing Mindy and Amy into their respective cells, and snapped her fingers at her two hench-women.
“For my plan to work, your identity must remain a secret, but you can still serve a purpose.”
“Nnnmmm! Mmmnnoo!” Felicia shook her head as Melanie and Delilah came over.
Lotus backed up as the two women opened the cell door. Felicia attempted to run, but were intercepted by the two, who hooked her under her bound arms and dragged her into the hallway.
“Ggmmm hfff! Lmmmtt mmmhh gghh!” Felicia kicked and fought as she was stood before Lotus.
“The Queen sought to keep you for herself, I have no such interests. Any customer can have some time with the “Masked Damsel” as you will be called.”
“Mmmph!” Felicia squeaked, once again trying to pull away.
“Bring her to one of the rooms, we have some clients coming in later who will quite enjoy our new attraction.” Lotus stepped back, grinning at the helpless Felicia.
“Mmmph! Nnnnmmmph! Hmmmph!” Felicia cried, kicking and struggling as Delilah and Melanie turned to carry Felicia down the hall.
Lotus smiled, watching the thong clad damsel’s futile struggles as she was brought through a door and out into the parlor to her new life.
It was a new chapter in Marston’s Pointe.
Felicia, Elvira, Lotus, Marianne, and more will return in The Damsel Games…
